STIR Challenge 2024 Dataset This is the STIR Challenge 2024 (STIRC2024) dataset for evaluating tracking and reconstruction methods. This a new, previously unreleased, dataset that was used in the STIR Challenge 2024 at MICCAI's EndoVis. This data has the same format as the larger STIR training and validation dataset (STIROrig). Dataset info for STIRC2024 is in the 2024 Challenge arxiv paper The STIR training and validation dataset (STIROrig) details are available in the dataset curation and creation arxiv paper. A download link for STIROrig can be found here: https://dx.doi.org/10.21227/w8g4-g548 Challenge Paper Link: https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.24306 Data Description This dataset includes multiple collections (folders). Each collection includes multiple clips with stereo videos.Under each of 'left' and 'right' folders are:seq** folders (seq00-seq14, for example). Each 'seq' folder corresponds to an action.For example, left/seq01 corresponds to the same recording as right/seq01 for the right camera. All images and videos are stereo rectified, and camera calibration is also provided in `calib.json`. Each 'seq**' folder contains:- frames (a folder containing visible light video as a mp4)- segmentation (contains start and end binary segmentation pngs)- icgstartseg.png (start segmentation)- icgendseg.png (finish segmentation)- ms_icgstart.png (starting IR image)- ms_icgend.png (finishing IR image) Quantification Use the STIRMetrics repo to assist with quantification, we use the TAP-Vid metric of average accuracy, δx, over thresholds. The 2D metric is averaged over accuracy thresholds of [4, 8, 16, 32, 64] pixels. The 3D metric is averaged over accuracy thresholds of [2, 4, 8, 16, 32] millimetres.
